Watching Angel walk into the basement, Spirit Body Threads suddenly disappeared. Klein took a deep sigh and took out a new one before the lantern in his hand reached the time limit of Historical Image. Surrounded by dim lights, he strode out of the giant's village, randomly selected a direction, and stepped into the deep darkness.
Except for some flat land near the village, there are no real "roads" in this abandoned world. There are only endless wilderness, occasional ravines or hills, and sporadic odd-shaped plants. Even with his "Scholar of Yore" erudition, he cannot tell what species these plants are.
"These ravines were originally supposed to be rivers, but as the vegetation disappeared and the weather became less rainy and dryer, these rivers gradually dried up and became cracks that cut through Earth Mother..."
He watched for a moment by a dry river bed, and after coming to a conclusion, he carefully tried to use "Flaming Jump" to get to the other side. As a handful of extremely dazzling flames flashed through Evernight, Klein successfully reached its destination without being hidden by the power of Evernight, nor was it attacked by monsters in the darkness.
But in his Spirit Body Threads vision, he could see illusory, thin lines squirming in the darkness where the light could not shine. This meant that monsters hidden in the darkness were wandering and watching around him, waiting for the moment when the flames extinguished and the prey showed its flaws.
"As soon as Angel left, they surrounded us. It seems that even the monsters of Forsaken Land of the Gods know who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked... But today they also misjudged us."
Klein smiled to himself, no longer looking into the lightless area, but continued to hold the lantern, using the occasional lightning to illuminate the way forward, and walked in the chosen direction.
Behind him, the bodies of deformed and crazy monsters shook and turned into Marionette, following step by step.
Some of these Marionette gradually changed into the shape of wearing black windbreakers and carrying dim lanterns and approached Klein, while some remained in their original state, crawling quickly with strange-shaped limbs to explore further places.
The monster who was lucky enough not to be snatched away Spirit Body Threads immediately understood that the human with the lamp was not easy to mess with, and left quietly without trying to follow him again.
Surrounded by Marionettes, Klein finally felt a little safer.
"It seems that 'Forsaken Land of the Gods' most of the monsters in the wild are not very powerful. At best, they are at a level that Mid Sequence Beyonder can deal with. Otherwise, City of Silver would not have been able to persist in the darkness for thousands of years... The one that poses the greatest threat to me is still The 'secret' and 'fallen' powers in the darkness, especially the former, even if I am the beloved of Evernight, I cannot resist the out-of-control divine power here, just like the power of 'Earth Mother' and 'Blazing Sun' in God War Ruins..."
He walked briskly, muttering to himself, experiencing the long-lost feeling of walking freely in the sun, without having to worry about a few slippery tentacles sticking out of Historical Void, and people around him suddenly wearing monocles... Although there was no sunshine here, Klein was in a very sunny mood at this time.
But he still maintained the most basic vigilance, while using Marionette to explore the path and investigate the surrounding dangers, while constantly switching his position between different Marionettes, summarizing his plan to come to Forsaken Land of the Gods in his mind.
The first thing Klein did when he broke through the blockade and came here was naturally to contact City of Silver where Tarot Club's "Sun" Derrick was located. It was probably the only city-state where Forsaken Land of the Gods still had normal order. Not only did it preserve a large amount of secret Second Epoch and Third Epoch history, it would help him digest the last "Scholar of Yore" Potion, and it was also his greatest hope for completing Promotion Ritual.
As for how to bring the two to three thousand years of history left behind in City of Silver back to the current era, and how to bring these poor people out of Forsaken Land of the Gods, Klein has a preliminary direction in mind, but it needs to be further understood about the history of Forsaken Land of the Gods before it can be perfected.
"At least we can't let Angel turn them into corpses one by one and take them out of here... They can't advance the ability of 'resurrection', and living creatures can penetrate the blockade through 'City of Calamity' and have a high probability of being contaminated by Sefirah. Like the corpses of the giant village, their heads will be separated, or they will become monsters..."
Klein couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart when he thought of the large number of corpses inside Burial Ground he just witnessed.
But he immediately thought that the "Sefirah Castle" he owned did not show such intuitive destructive power. The Gray Fog, which looked like Historical Void, almost never really showed its power except to resist some powerful enemies independently. The members of Tarot Club held dozens of meetings on it, and there was no sign of contamination at all.
Unless... that mysterious Gray Fog is not the real "Sefirah Castle", but is just a manifestation of the power of Sefirah, just like the relationship between "Mirror World" and "City of Calamity"?
The real "Sefirah Castle" is actually the light gate that hangs countless Light Cocoon, and puts him, Roselle and another Beyonder into Physical World?
Klein had a realization, and looked up to the sky, as if he wanted to see through the illusory fog that shrouded his head, and looked at the light door that he could only see the whole thing after becoming Demigod, imagining that it was just the door of a huge "castle".
But there was only Forsaken Land of the Gods and deep Evernight in front of him. At this time, even the frequency of lightning dropped to the minimum.
Looking back, the second thing he wanted to do came to his mind: hunting "Demonic Wolf" Cottar.
Cottar, known as "God of Wishes", has a copy of Beyonder Characteristic called "Miracle Invoker". If Klein wants to be promoted When you get to Sequence 2, you must face him and kill him, unless he goes to find Zarathus who also has the same characteristics, or "Half Fool" Antigonus.
From the data sent into the brain by Evernight Goddess, Klein knew several places where Demonic Wolf had stayed for a long time, as well as some of his living habits, but these were probably still Goddess received the information before leaving this continent. Now that thousands of years have passed, Klein is not sure whether this "Miracle Invoker" has changed in personality and habits.
Therefore, before the hunt started, he planned to visit these places to confirm the accuracy of the information, and then make a plan to kill the "wolf" and obtain the treasure.
This is the background of this world... people eat people, characteristics merge with characteristics, the closer to High Sequence, the more inevitable a zero-sum game will appear... Klein sighed surrounded by Marionette.
Finally, besides digesting Potion and hunting the magic wolf, he also planned to visit the easternmost part of Forsaken Land of the Gods.
After knowing that the earth is beneath his feet and that he has just traveled through time rather than space, Klein has always had a question:
According to the map of this era and the memory in his mind, North Continent, Southern Continent and the Berserk Sea in the middle are the Americas of Old Era. The "Forsaken Land of the Gods" facing them across the Sonia Sea was undoubtedly a combination of Europe and Africa before it was destroyed.
So, at "East Continent", on the easternmost side of "Forsaken Land of the Gods", are they directly connected to "Western Continent" on the other side of the Fog Sea?
That is his true hometown.
Thinking of this, Klein's steps became a little lighter.
After walking a few more miles and having a deeper connection with this area, he can return to Gray Fog, use the personality of "Sefirah Castle" to divine the specific location of "City of Silver", and first get in touch with the survivors of these Great Cataclysm.
But Klein still hasn't forgotten that "Forsaken Land of the Gods" not only contains his hope for promotion, but also his biggest enemy: Amon.
It is not known whether the true body of "Blasphemer" is still in this blocked area, but he will at least leave a group of clones hidden in City of Silver, hidden in other possible city-states and strongholds, waiting for Klein to come to his door.
Fortunately, his parasitism can be discovered through the high-level vision above Gray Fog. Klein also has the "internal response" of Derrick. He can use his prayers to attract the attention of "Fool", discover Amon's Avatar in advance, and respond.
Of course, in addition to Amon's body and clones, Forsaken Land of the Gods also has another existence that Klein has to pay attention to. That is the Lord believed in by "Aurora Order" who has repeatedly opposed him, and "True Creator" who both Tingen and Backlund are trying to descend from the gods.
If this God knew that I came to Forsaken Land of the Gods, would he come directly in front of me and grant me real death... No, it is said that He has gone completely crazy, so he would let "Listener" who is the same as Pathway hear the words that drive him crazy from time to time. "Aurora Order" has an extreme style and acts without scruples. In this state, he will most likely let his subordinate Angel hunt me down, which is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack... Klein muttered, making preliminary plans for his Forsaken Land of the Gods trip.
He immediately looked back, and in the flash of lightning that had only occurred for a long time, he saw an abandoned village with only a string of small dots on the horizon.
What is Angel, who returned to Sona Island, doing now... He thought with some curiosity.
The moment darkness as deep as the torrent of death surged in, Angel tried to leave "Mirror World" and return to reality.
But she immediately discovered that her connection with each Mirror Tunnel and all nearby mirrors became very weak, as if there was a barrier between the two that was difficult to break through.
After Backlund fought with "Lady Despair", she was once again blocked by others from entering and exiting Mirror World!
This means that the other party is either higher than yourself at Sequence, or has a deeper grasp of Mirror World.
As Sequence 2's "Catastrophe" Demoness, Angel knows that the former condition is impossible to achieve because "Primordial Demoness" occupies all three Beyonder Characteristic of Sequence 1. Within Demoness Pathway, the vertex of any Beyonder is Sequence 2.
And who has a deeper grasp of "Mirror World" than Angel, who has partial authority over "City of Calamity"?
As the dark black "Apocalypse" covered the Mirror World where Angel was, a slender and thin figure was outlined from the void, immediately attracting her attention.
She was wearing a thin black dress, with a high nose, and a face as three-dimensional and deep as a sculpture. Her long black hair was flying in the wind, entangled with each other, forming thick and long venomous snakes. Her eyes were as blue as the ocean, making people unable to look away. Her body gradually became stiff, Petrification.
Obviously, this is a High Sequence Witch who directly revealed the complete Mythical Creature Form.
The moment she saw Him, Angel's body also experienced similar changes. The ends of her long pale golden hair turned black, and she also grew a large mouth or a single eye with a vertical pupil. Her skin became crystal clear, with translucent scales covered with divine patterns on the inside. Her eyes also changed from Deep Purple to blue-purple, and her face changed slightly, becoming more three-dimensional and sculpture-like.
Under the oppression of Demoness who transformed into Gorgon, she could only respond with her own Mythical Creature Form.
But compared to the Demoness that suddenly appeared in front of you, the Mythical Creature Form of Angel is subtly different.
His body surface is not covered with scales. Is this a different type of "Gorgon", or... I have the power of "War Bishop" in my body, so Mythical Creature Form will be slightly closer to "Hunter"'s Flame Giant? No, it should be said to be the Iron Giant... She looked at Demoness who attracted "Mirror World" Apocalypse with a clear understanding, and suddenly found that the other person was wearing a ring on his finger that was somewhat familiar to her.
It is Sapphire Ring that Trissy once owned, and it can pray for the power of "Primordial Demoness"!
The other party is not "Catastrophe" Demoness like her, but a vessel descended from the gods and possessing part of True God's power!
No wonder He was able to overpower my control over "Mirror World". After requesting the arrival of God, it was originally "Catastrophe" Demoness has at least the power of Sequence 1 "Apocalypse" Demoness, and also has the personality of True God. Although I have the care and gift of "City of Calamity", the body of this Sefirah is sealed in the Western Continent, in What is in the depths of Mirror World is only a part of the leaked power. It is difficult to compete with Sequence 0 True God who is in charge of "Uniqueness" and has corresponding authority...
Angel instantly understood and no longer tried to compete with the other party for control of "Mirror World". Instead, at the moment when deep darkness covered him, he covered his whole body with black flames to resist this wave of Apocalypse-like power allowed them to pass through him and surge behind him, completely destroying all nearby Mirror Tunnel and turning Mirror World into a pitch-black place where no light could be seen.
This did not cause Mirror World to collapse immediately, but formed a void sandwiched between Spirit World and reality without any objects. It was like a world eroded by Apocalypse. There was nothing but two Demoness floating in the air.
Demoness, with flying black hair and cold blue eyes, seemed not surprised that Angel could escape the first wave of attacks. Cursed Black Flame was also ignited on his body, and he flew into the air like a giant bird with open wings, dragging out a piece of black flame that re-illuminated the entire area. Meteorites formed out of thin air and struck Angel below.
It just so happens that this is an excellent battlefield...
Under the cold gaze of this "Divine Descent Vessel", and under the pressure of the meteorites thrown by him, the corners of Angel's mouth raised slightly.
She learned from Trissy that the divine descent through Sapphire Ring would not last long. If a Saint could last for half a minute, then Angel would only last for two minutes at most.
She'll try hard, and in two minutes...
... Completely defeat the fake God in front of you.
Surrounded by Black Flame, the body avoided falling meteorites one after another. A series of connected Tinplate Puppet fell out from under the hem of Angel's skirt. As soon as they were separated from the series, they expanded rapidly and turned into ten steel soldiers wearing armor. Each one has the personality of Sequence 3 and can fight with the ability of "Reaper".
In addition, they are all part of the holder's "team". Under the power of Hunter Demigod and "Gathering of Crowds", they can share damage and strength with each other, forming a closely connected and coordinated team, making each "Reaper" an extension of the captain's arm and finger.
The most important thing is that after Angel obtains the gift of "War Bishop", he can share his abilities, not just power, to "team members" within a certain range. This is reflected here, that is, every Tinplate Soldiers has the ability of "War Bishop", not just "Reaper".
Having divinity or not is the biggest difference between the two.
Under Angel's thoughts, the Tinplate Soldierss with heavy bodies falling straight into the depths of Mirror World turned into Flame Spears burning with purple flames. They moved delicately through the meteorites, accelerated to a level that was almost invisible to the naked eye with the sound of sonic booms, and flew towards the black-haired Demoness in the distance.
It's not that Angel is unwilling to turn ten soldiers into supersonic Flame Spear at once, but the Sequence 3 ability she "shares" is limited in quantity. Although her own use is not limited, each "team member" can only borrow it separately and cannot repeat it.
Even so, the scene of spears all over the sky shooting at the black-haired Demoness like meteors flying backwards is still extremely gorgeous, and even temporarily overwhelms the momentum of meteorites falling and Black Flame covering the sky.
Boom, boom——
The spears exploded in the dull Mirror World, and the blue-purple flames flowed downward. Before Angel had time to observe the results of the battle, they were all stained with gray, solidified into stone chips, and sprinkled like rain.
With just one look, the black-haired Demoness in the divine state caused all the Flame Spear shot at him to completely Petrification together with the high-temperature flames and lose their power.
But Angel was not discouraged. Her "Reaper Legion" was just a feint attack to attract the enemy's attention. Angel's figure was hidden in the flames of the spear streaking across the sky, and rushed straight towards the black-haired Demoness at a speed no less than that of Reaper's suicide attacks.
Beside her, meteorites endured the wrestling of the two Demonesss, shattering and exploding one after another. The orange fire became the background color of Mirror World, and the black figure of Angel holding Straight Sword to activate the "Harvest" power was the sharp blade that cut through the curtain.
Angel's face is a little gray, and the ends of his pale golden snake hair are hanging heavily, as if being attacked by Petrification, but in the process of canceling each other's abilities, the figures of the two Demoness Already overlapping together, "Angelica's Edge" burned with flames and stabbed directly at Demoness who was in the state of divine descent, and ignited the monstrous Black Flame amidst the "crash" sound of the mirror shattering.
At the same time, the sound of broken mirrors was also heard from the other three locations of Mirror World, and fragments reflecting the light of the flames fell from the void. It was the black-haired Demoness "Mirror Substitution" hidden in the dark.
Angel combined the fatal blow of Hunter "Harvest" and Demoness's destructive power to successfully eliminate most of the opponent's substitutes, even affecting his own body that activated the substitute at the last moment.
Just half a month ago, she used the same method to kill all Marionette of Zarathus with one blow. The combination of Hunter and Demoness's abilities is the nemesis of Beyonder who has the ability to clone, stand in, and incarnate!
In the battle between Demoness, Catastrophe, Petrification and the disease abilities canceled each other out, and Angel's "War Bishop" gift became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Among the Black Flame and mirror fragments in the sky, the figure of the black-haired Demoness slowly emerged from another place. His body still carried wisps of Black Flame that did not belong to him. He was quickly expelled by the Cursed Flame caused by himself. However, after he used a substitute to escape the attack in embarrassment, his sculpture-like three-dimensional face finally showed a slight change, and his blue eyes showed surprise.
After receiving the order from Old Ancestor "Gray Witch" and borrowing Sapphire Ring to ask God to descend, he originally thought it was just an easy task. After all, Demoness's true nature The body is difficult to kill, and they often won't fight desperately when they have a way out. It shouldn't be too difficult to overwhelm a newly promoted "Catastrophe" Demoness with a power close to Sequence 1.
But at this time, he was actually at a disadvantage?
Holding the hand wearing Sapphire Ring tightly, feeling the power given to him by "Primordial", "Blue Witch" stabilized Spirituality, and once again summoned, which was much larger than before. Meteor Shower smashed it down at an angle that he could not predict, using this to delay time. Then he drew an arc in front of his chest with both hands and grasped an ancient silver mirror that suddenly appeared. As the angle changed, the mirror reflected the figure of "Golden Queen" who was avoiding the meteorite and rushing toward him again.
Before he could do anything further, the body of "Blue Witch" was once again penetrated by the flaming Straight Sword, and together with the other three Mirror Substitution, it was turned into blazing fragments.
But her body appeared in another location, still holding the dressing mirror tightly in her hand. At this time, the relative angle between the two people had changed, but the figure of Angel was still clearly reflected on the surface of the silver mirror.
With a sneer, "Blue Witch" stretched out his hand stained with Black Flame and pressed it towards Mirror Person.
At the same time, the introduction of Sealed Artifact quickly appeared in his mind:
"'Mirror Killer'.
"This silver mirror originated from one of Fourth Epoch's 'Unaging' Demoness. After she and her Mirror Person were attacked and died at the same time, Beyonder Characteristic The Sealed Artifact produced by combining with the fragments in the mirror is only equivalent to the '1' level Sealed Artifact, but as long as it is used properly, it is the nemesis of any Demoness.
"As long as the mirror is activated and aimed at the target, the target's figure will be imprinted in the mirror. The damage to the image in the mirror will be reflected on all the target's avatars, clones and Mirror Person. As long as the main body is killed in a single attack, all hidden "Mirror Person" will be destroyed at the same time. No matter where they are or how protected they are, they will inevitably die."
When "Blue Witch"'s slender fingers stained with Black Flame were about to press Angel's figure on "Mirror Killer", the latter instinctively felt Receiving the crazy warning from Spirituality, he subconsciously let the last two survivors, Tinplate Soldiers, get closer to him, sharing the damage suffered by each other with the power of "Gathering of Crowds".
It's useless, "Mirror Killer" restrains all similar abilities... "Blue Witch" pressed his finger fiercely.
At this moment, the Black Flame on his fingertips disappeared, the meteorite that fell beside him disappeared, and the disease and Petrification power that he was silently fighting against "Golden Queen" disappeared.
The connection established between Him and "Primordial Demoness" through Sapphire Ring was interrupted in advance!
